Question 3 • *GV 2018 - P.E. Health Science - PE201

Which of the following statements about stereotypes are true? Check all of the boxes that apply.

Answer
A
Stereotypes can be learned from others.
B
Stereotypes are only negative.
C
Stereotypes can develop as a result of lack of knowledge.
D
Stereotypes often increase as people learn more about others.
E
A positive stereotype can have negative consequences.

Explanation

Stereotypes are generalized beliefs about groups, and people can learn them from family, peers, or media. They can also develop when someone has limited knowledge or experience with a group. Stereotypes are not always negative, but even a seemingly positive stereotype can put pressure on people or lead to unfair assumptions. Learning more about others generally helps reduce stereotypes, so D is not true.
